From AgentWrapper

Catalog of the AO (Agent Orchestrator) `ao` CLI: spawning workers, managing sessions and projects, sending messages, previewing pages, and daemon control. Use when using the ao CLI, spawning workers, or managing AO sessions in an AO workspace.

Catalogs the `ao` CLI commands for spawning workers, managing sessions/projects, and controlling the AO daemon.

Use it when

  • Spawning a worker agent in a fresh git worktree via `ao spawn`
  • Listing, killing, or restoring agent sessions with `ao session`
  • Registering or configuring repos with `ao project`
  • Sending a message to a live agent session or previewing a URL

Skip it if

  • Requires an existing AO workspace and running AO daemon
  • Only useful if you already use the `ao` CLI/Agent Orchestrator tool
  • Just a command reference, not functionality itself—defers to `ao <command> --help`
